wore it not that their very necessity
has bred an invention no lesa ingeni-
ous than edriotf* and effective. Thia
is nothing loss than the use of sharks’
teeth to give a cutting edge to their
wooden knives and swords. Tho.
mouth of tlje shark contains 300
teeth, arranged in five ' rows, all
closely lying upon each other, except
the outer row, and so constructed
that as one tooth is broken or lost
another takes its place. The teeth
are not only pointed and keen-edged,
but are finely and regularly aerated,
so that the cutting power is greatly
increased. Indeed, so great a fac-'
ulty have these teeth for wounding,
that the implements and weapons
upon which they are used have'to be
handled with great care. The King-
mill islanders make many strange
articles of sharks’ teeth.

NO U9E FOR BEDS IN1 AO DAD.
About 60 per cent, of Bagdad’s
population possess no beds. These
poor people rest on blankets spread
on the floors of their houses in the
wipter and on thet roofs in the sum-
mer. Owing to the excessive heat* of
these regions sleep is made impos-
sible elsewhere than on the roof or in
the open gardens. It is an interest-
ing sight to see how the women at
sunset emerge from their houses to
prepare the evening meal on the roof,
and spread the bedding for the night.
Inasmuch as the climate is very diy,
there is little to fear from exposure
to the night air. While a consider-
able number of the roofs are sur-
rounded by lattice work to insure a
»rtain amount of privacy, by far the
Few thing* interest succeeding
generations more than the love af-
fairs of bygone celebrities. Whatever
our attitude may be toward those
who in out day defy the conventions,
there is no denying our consuming
curiosity about famous women who
in the past have strayed from the
path of virtue. Of all the names, in-
deed, handed down to u* in history,
it is a significant fact that those
which command our greatest inter-
est and sympathy are invariably
those who, like "Cleopatra and As-
pasia, Diane de Poitier* and Mary
Queen of Scots, Lady Hamilton and
the various women of the salons,
were distinguished by conduct which
would not have permitted of their
remaining on our visiting list to-
day!—Ladies* Field.

THE QAS^BY ALEWIVEt.
The alewives are running at Por-
ter’* mill stream, and will be up here
in a, day or two. These alewifes are
a very gamey fiah. The usual mode
of catching them when you haven’*,
a good fly is to wade out irfto the
shallow water around the furnace or
under Hills’ mill, and grab them
with your, hands and sling them
ashbre., This method may not ap-
peal to the true sportsman, but does
first-rate for those who want to
pickle a barrel or two of the juicy
gaspereau.—Calais (Me.) Adver-
tiser.

Cart* Bo Provided for Nina
Cents a Day.
The health board’s experience last
winter with the unemployed in the
todging'houses and improvised shel-.
ters has led it to the firm conclusion
that, given careful , management,
wholesale buying, good use of ma-
terials and othdr conditions, three
square, wholesome, palatable meals a
lay may be furnished for less than
nine cents a day. On the nine-cent
basis the blessings of a bath, a doctor
in case of need And a clean bed were
added to the solution of the food
problem.
An examination of the daily menu
prescribed causes no disappointment.
A breakfast of bread and butter, cof-
fee (with sugar), and molasses is de-
cidedly 'satisfactory. y.Jt is, in fact,
the must-praised “continental”
breakfast'slightly, modified, and the
question of its sufficiency resolves it-
self into one of quantity and quality.
Where these are adequate the reason-
able man will be entirely reconciled.
The same may be said about the
dinner and the supper. Of course,
man does not live by meat stew alone
for dinner, or mutton soup thickened
alone for supper. He craves some
variety. But no doubt science and
art are equal to the solution of this
problem, too, after their success with
the paramount problem of cost—

COTTON SEED OIL INDUSTRY. \
In the great cotton belt of the
south are 848 mills engaged in crush-
ing cotton seed for it* oil and other
products. In these mills are 2,608
preUfees and in connection with them
2,762 gin-stand* and 3,126 linters.
It is estimated that in the produc-
tion of cotton seed oil and by-prod-
ucts more than $85,000,000 is in-,
vested. 1
The mills annually use about
4,000,000 tons of seed, costing about
$60,000,000. When made into oil,
cake, hulls and linters and other
products it* value is about $90,000,-
000. At the present time but little
more than half the total seed prod-
uct of the country is crushed.—Pop-
ular Mechanics.
